One Omaha’s mission is to empower people where they live through education, training, and engagement to develop thriving neighborhoods.
We value inclusive participation in the growth of our communities and are passionate about enhancing the quality of life in our city. We benefit communities by addressing the lack of capacity in neighborhoods and helping them gain greater control of their own future development. Our impact builds human, technical, and conceptual skills to sustain civic and community efforts to achieve a resident-led vision for neighborhoods throughout Omaha.
In 2021, One Omaha became an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit.
A person who truly cares never stops learning and being engaged. Activism is a driving force that spans a lifetime. Don’t give up on participation in civic action when one issue doesn’t turn out how you hoped.
Originally announced to the neighborhood in February of 2019 by Garrison companies, 46 Dodge was to include 278 apartment units on five floors above a three-story parking garage. The new development would have required clearing eight aging structures on a 1.4-acre spot southwest of 46th and Dodge Streets.
In November 2021, Community Health Development Partners (CHDP) announced a plan for a 25-acre health and wellness campus called The Intersections. The development’s now-defunct website described it as “a place where opportunity, fun, and wellness come together for everyone.”
